Built Around Your Signal Path
18 Inputs. 18 Outputs. Zero Compromise.
The chassis supports up to 18 single-port input cards and 18 single-port output cards. Any connected input can be routed to any output, one source can be sent to multiple displays, or every display can show a different source.
Why Choose Single-Port Cards?
Four-port matrix cards group multiple connections on one module. The WolfPack single-port architecture gives every signal its own card position. If a connection needs to be changed or serviced, only that port is affected.
| Feature | Single-Port Cards | Four-Port Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Connections per card | 1 | 4 |
| Replace one connection independently | âś“ Yes | The complete four-port card is serviced |
| Select connector types port by port | âś“ Yes | Cards are configured in four-port groups |
| Best suited for | Highly customized, serviceable systems | Repeated connection groups |
Choose the Connection for Every Port
The final system can be configured around the equipment and cable infrastructure used in your project. Supported card combinations must be confirmed when ordering.

More Than Matrix Switching
Build the Video Wall Into the System
Create multi-screen video wall layouts without a separate external video wall processor. Depending on the installed cards and configuration, supported layouts may include 2x2, 3x3 and custom arrangements. Individually routed displays can operate alongside a video wall, and saved layouts can be recalled when needed.
HDMI Extension over CAT6
Optional HDMI-over-CAT6 cards extend video and audio to remotely located displays. With compatible cards, receivers and category cable, transmission distances can reach up to 450 feet. Compatible power-over-cable receivers may receive power through the same category cable, eliminating a separate power adapter behind the display.
Actual distance depends on the selected cards, receiver, resolution and cable quality. Confirm the complete signal path with an HDTV Supply system designer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an 18x18 HDMI matrix switcher?
An 18x18 HDMI matrix switcher connects up to 18 video sources with up to 18 displays and allows any source to be routed to any display.
What is the advantage of single-port cards?
Each signal uses an independent card. This allows individual ports to be configured, replaced or upgraded without servicing a four-port group.
Can HDMI, CAT6, SDI and fiber cards be used in the same chassis?
Compatible card types can be combined within the chassis. HDTV Supply will verify the requested card combination before shipment.
Are CAT6 receivers included?
CAT6 receivers are included only when they are selected as part of the configured system.
Is the matrix configured before shipment?
Every configured system is assembled and tested before shipment. Optional programming services can include input and output naming, EDID settings, routing presets, network settings and video wall layouts.
